How Teens Feel About Their Parents

*Which information seems contradictory-or seems to go against other information?

*Do you think teens answered all the questions truthfully?

Explain your opinions and support your ideas with examples from your own experience or those you have heard about from others.

Example:

I think the data was contradictory because 74% of the teenagers said they got along with their parents; however the rest of the percentages did not support that idea. 82% of them said that their parents did not understand teenagers. How could they get along with their parents if there was not any understanding of each other? 54% said they would not tell their parents about a serious problem, which shows they must not trust their parents very much. Without trust, how could they get along?
